I generally save my deepest emotions and opinions for private conversations with my dog but I have to make an exception this time :mrgreen:
I was not handling this b-day very well :nah: A year closer to my mortality at such a time when my life is so good and surrounded by so many friends has , to be honest , kicked my butt just a bit :sad11:
I got up this morning in a somber mood , looking forward to lunch with everyone, but not kick-up-your-heels happy about greeting the day.
Got to the GC and got handed balloons, a cool hat and card by a pretty little princess, went inside and found myself surrounded by laughter , fellowship, good food and excellent conversation. People came from work, drove with sore backs from out of state, took long lunches and all manner of sacrifices to be part of it. those who couldn't make it took time to type their sincere greetings and I even got a cyber-hug :eusa_danc
What started as a simple planer delivery turned into one of the best b-days I've had in a long time :icon_thum Gloats will be posted tomorrow :mrgreen:
You folks are " all that and a bag of chips " and I am one grateful ol redneck for the chance to be part of your lives and you mine
Thanx everyone for making a difference in this crusty old man's life :eusa_clap
OK, enough of the sniffly stuff ......
Thanx everyone
